Expro Gets Woodside Job at Trion Deepwater Project off Mexico
Texas-based oilfield services provider Expro has secured a three-year contract by Woodside Energy to provide tubular running services (TRS) and cementing services for the Trion project, Mexico’s first deepwater oil production facility.Woodside and Expro have a long-standing partnership, with Expro supporting well construction activities in Mexico during the exploration phase.As part of the project, Woodside Energy will manage operations from its Tampico shore base and office, while Expro is actively establishing a new hub in the area, supporting local employment and contributing to the economic
Vallourec to Deliver Tubular Solution for Qatar’s Drilling ops
in 2026 to support Qatar’s increasing drilling activity both onshore and offshore.Vallourec has a historical presence in Qatar where VAM connections are widely used by all operators.The contract aligns with recent announcements from Qatar-based companies to increase the country’s oil production by 19% and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production by 85% by 2030. Overall, LNG production will reach about 142 million tons per annum (MTPA).As such, these production increases will require additional drilling and infrastructure development, creating new opportunities for Vallourec in the next
SLB Launches New Well Completions Tech to Boost Production
in higher recovery factors that maximize return on investment from the asset,” said Paul Sims, president, Production Systems.There have been more than 100 installations of Electris completions technologies across five countries.In Norway, Electris completions were deployed offshore to enhance oil production in an extended-reach well. The operator is using intelligence from the system to determine which zones are contributing to production to optimize oil output and minimize produced water.Controlling water production with Electris completions has decreased the energy needed to lift and then pump
KOTUG Completes SPM Buoy Upgrade for Azule Energy
18. This buoy, one of the largest of its kind in the world, was installed in 2007 at approximately 1,200 meters. It is the primary export route for oil from the Greater Plutonio FPSO.The key objective for the project was to ensure that the replacement work was carried out without disrupting ongoing oil production and export operations. To achieve this, KOTUG’s team conducted a comprehensive site survey, handled engineering and procurement, and developed detailed procedures to ensure safe, high-quality execution within the limited timeframe between tanker calls at the SPM.In October 2024, KOTUG&rsquo

expand our U.S. Gulf Coast footprint. The agreements generate stable and predictable cash flow and provide future growth opportunities," said Cynthia Hansen, EVP & President Gas Transmission and Midstream.In July 2024, BP made a final investment decision on the Kaskida project, with the oil production expected to start in 2029.Kaskida will be BP’s sixth hub in the Gulf of Mexico, featuring a new floating production platform with the capacity to produce 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day from six wells in the first phase.In August, BP selected Exmar Offshore and Audubon Engineering Company

The technology we [develop and] use here can be adapted to anywhere else in the world. We are adaptive, we're nimble, we're problem solvers. And at the end of the day, we are collaborative."

year. So you're looking at about a $200m market value that is anticipated to grow.”While the fisheries are the backbone, offshore energy is the muscle. Again, a commodity which has its peaks and valleys. In 2023 the Province produced about 73 million barrels, or about $8 billion in oil production. With the Terra Nova FPSO going back into production in November 2023, Parsons expects oil production to rise to around 82 million barrels this year.Another promising development is Cenovus’ nearly billion-dollar investment in constructing the West White Rose Project now, another key plank
Sapura Ônix Heads to Atlanta Field to Install Subsea Equipment
The specialized vessel Sapura Ônix is on its way to Atlanta Field in Santos Basin, offshore Brazil, where it will carry out the installation of subsea equipment to support the oil production, targeted for August 2024.Brazilian oil and gas company Enauta said the Sapura Ônix vessel is en route to install multiphase pumps (MPPs), umbilicals for power and data transmission, and production risers, connecting the wells’ subsea infrastructure to FPSO Atlanta.The FPSO Atlanta, chartered and operated by Malaysia’s Yinson Production, is currently being anchored on site, following its
